Heat index

For most parts of March, the heat index is computed to be a hot 32°C (89.6°F). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
